We have write-up on our web site at: >http://www.icdchess.com/cpreviews/star.html >Steve (ICD/Your Move Chess & Games) Steve this looks like a great machine, but how can they print this elo rating for this machine? Does estimated mean wild guess, or blitz rating, or starndard time control games. I can accept wild guess or maybe a blitz rating, but I do not think this machine can reach a 2530 uscf rating from the specs I read. I would like the see some kind of game data to back up the estimated rating.
